[boost] Slight error on home page

[Daryle Walker]

This is on <http://www.boost.org/>.  Look at the second link of the 
first line under the 19-Aug-2003 entry of "Latest News", which 
corresponds to 1.30.2.  Someone used a backslash [\] for a URL-part 
separator instead of the proper regular-slash [/].

I guess the last writer uses Windows.  But, it seems that there are 
many HTML writers with Windows that make the same mistake.  Why do I 
say this?  Because the server software for our site will internally 
correct the mistake!  It doesn't do a redirect, it just internally 
exchanges the "%5C" for slashes while computing the corresponding file. 
 This incurs a slight slowdown.

Doesn't someone here use a script to check the quality of our text 
files before publishing?  If so, maybe the script could be modified to 
check the URLs (inside HTML files only?) for slash screw-ups.
